Confused about what to do with Rasmussen. A limit of 70-80 pitches is tough, but if he's pitching 5-6 innings he's worth a spot. Would you drop any of Ryne Nelson, E. Cabrera, or Eury Perez for him?

Justin Mason

12:02

I am battling this question as well. I think I would probably drop him because he is going to fall short of 5 innings most outings. I would grab cabrera

Why not Zoidberg

12:02

Trying to decide between Marsee and Chandler Simpson for the week. Any preference between the two?

Justin Mason

12:02

Chandler for me this week

bdubs

12:02

While waiting for Yordan and Chourios to return I'm moving Altuve to OF (dropping TFreeman), pls rank: Gleyber, Romy Gonzalez, Keashall, L Sosa at 2B

ROS for saves: Ferrer v Topa?

Justin Mason

12:03

Gleyber, Keaschall, Romy, Sosa

Ferrer

Adenolith

12:03

Need to make a drop when Springer comes back. Out of Langford, Anthony, Marsee or Keaschall, who's the drop?

Justin Mason

12:04

Marsee unless you really need speed.

Jim

12:04

Do we trust Blake Snell after one good start? My other options in a weekly roto legaue would be to start Randy Rodriguez or Sean Newcomb.

Justin Mason

12:04

I think as long as Snell is healthy, we trust him

Rich

Hi Justin. Please rank these SP ROS in a 5X5 H2H league: Darvish, Pfaadt, Matthews, Paddack, Cantillo, Povich, Cavalli. Thanks!

Justin Mason

12:05

Matthews, Pfaadt, Canitllo, Paddack, Darvish, Povich, Cavalli

Trap or Keeper

12:06

Hi Justin! Could you plz rank these keepers for AL only, obp? Gunnar ($33), Schanuel ($4), Varsho ($4), Bubic ($1), J Polanco ($1), Reese Olson ($3)?

Justin Mason

12:06

Bubic, Gunnar, Schanuel, Varsho, Olson, Polanco

R (I) P

12:06

Picked up Sands and Cano after the deadline, but neither looks in line for saves. Cut for a better reliever (Matt Brash) or spot starter (Slade vs. ATL)?

Justin Mason

12:07

I would rather have the spot starter personally

Guest

In a 12 tm 6x6, what are your thoughts on giolito ros? Projections have him at 4.75 era rest if way. Zebby on waivers but this week scares me for his matchups

Justin Mason

12:09

I think Giolito wil likely be incosistent as the season continues to wear on. The underlying era indicators says hes been fairly lucky so I am not surprised by the projections. Add in the fact he is already over 100 innings on the season and having last pitched in 2023, I would be pretty wary of him. I would rather have Zebby because of his upside

Ay's

12:10

With Perkins in the rotation, Newcombe getting the 7th/8th yesterday, and Kelly blowing the tie in the 9th, is there an arm in the Sactown pen that you would add?

Justin Mason

12:10

I think Kelly and Newcomb share this which makes neither super enticing

Guest

12:11

Is K Senga worth picking up as a streamer option?

Justin Mason

12:12

Not right now considering he hasnt been able to go deep into games recently

Mike

12:12

Chase Burns destined to be a reliever and not a closer?

Justin Mason

12:12

No. I think he will be a starter for a while if not his whole career

Ben

12:12

Jackson Holliday have another gear for future years? Assume that this year WYSIWYG? Thanks!

Justin Mason

12:14

I definitely think he does. He is still just 21 and having a break out season. I don't know if his power potential is through the roof, but his combination of hit, power and speed should make him a top 50 pick in fantasy at some point.

See My Vest

12:14

Worth hanging on to Will Vest or is he droppable? Replacement options include Ronny Henriquez, Sean Newcomb, Keegan Akin and Jose Ferrer (also please remind me never to trust an AJ Hinch closer ever again)

Justin Mason

12:14

I would move to Akin

Devito or Schwarzenegger?

12:14

Do you like any of the Twins new (some still young) retreads? Austin Martin, Roden, Julien, Taj, Abel?

Justin Mason

12:15

I am definitely interested in their pitchers. Taj has been good in AAA and I think Abel has top of the rotation ability. Roden is interesting with the playing time right now too

Wayne

12:16

H2H points, start one of the following this week: D Swanson, McLain or Goldschmidt. Thanks

Justin Mason

12:17

Swanson this week

On sale

12:17

OttoNeu H2H. I am almost locked into play offs. Opportunity to wipe out salary cap on a half price Austin Riley. Really no need for 2025. Nice, but not a driving consideration. Is it a good risk to use all of the salary cap on 1/2 priced 2026 Austin Riley. Thank you

Justin Mason

12:17

I think so. He should be a buyback guy for next year

Slayed

12:17

Did Slade getting hit around by the CrySox hurt your faith in him? Still starting vs. Atlanta this week? Gets decent matchups after, but I know Paul is less keen than you on him...

Justin Mason

12:18

I am not overly worried. Those are going to happen but overall I like the skill set and this isnt a matchup I am running from.

Mike

12:18

Manzardo (one lefty, but three tough righties) or Butler, this week and ROS?

Justin Mason

12:18

Butler

ponopoly

12:18

Is Colson Montgomery good?
